Dishwashers, which not so long ago were considered an unnecessary luxury, have now become a full-fledged part of kitchen equipment. They allow you to save water used for washing dishes, and most importantly, time. Now no one doubts the advisability of such a purchase. The main issue was the choice of a suitable model. There are several criteria you need to pay attention to here.
Instructions
Step 1
The main parameter is the amount of dishes that are used in your family. Standard cars are designed for 10-14 sets, for a small family a car for 8-9 sets is suitable, there are also compact models for only 4-5 sets. Depending on the roominess, the dimensions also change: the smaller it is, the narrower the car.
Step 2
You can also choose a machine that will be fully integrated and not visible behind the front door of the kitchen unit, or a machine with an open panel. In this case, you can choose it in accordance with the design of the kitchen. It can even be fitted with a glass front panel.
Step 3
Indicators of energy and water consumption are also important. They are classified in Latin letters A to G and A to C, respectively. The higher the letter, the lower the consumption. It helps to save water using a machine that is connected to hot water, but there are restrictions on the temperature and quality of the water. There are machines with a built-in mixer that can be switched between cold and hot water, but they cost a little more.
Step 4
The quality of washing and drying is also marked with letters: the higher they are, the better the quality of washing and drying. But in many respects it depends on the hardness of the tap water. There are cars in which this parameter is regulated. The number of directions in which water is supplied inside the machine must be at least three.
Step 5
The cost and operation of the dishwasher also depends on the number of basic and additional functions performed. The basic ones include the possibility of differentiating the washing modes depending on the degree of soiling of the dishes and soaking. Additional ones include a delicate crystal sink, the use of economical and bio-modes. Make your choice based on the relevance and relevance of the offered dishwashing programs.
Step 6
Pay attention to the safety of the machine - noise level, protection against leaks and door locking during operation. As for manufacturers, there are no obvious outsiders among them - all offered equipment is distinguished by a sufficient degree of reliability and quality.
